Ir would perhaps be a good thing for

IT would perhaps be good thing for
tho democracy and for the country if
Cox of New York should be given the
craftsmanship Of the ways and means
committee of the next house Of repre-
sentatives, instead of Mills Of Texas.
Mr.. Cox has not distinguished himself
in connection with questions Of finance
and revenue, and would probably not
have an inordinate ambition to do so.
He would therefore doubtless be tracta-
BILE and willing to give fair attention to
the views of other men wiser on the
subject than he. Mr.. Mills, on the con-
trary, has very radical views which he
thoroughly believes in, and he is the
sort of man to insist upon his opinions.
There would be rather more likelihood
of something being accomplished If
Cox were at the head of the ways
and means committee than if the
Texas congressman were in that posi-
tion. It will not be an easy matter,
however, to ignore the claims of Mills,
and the chances are largely in his favor.
1t is current surmise that there will be
some changes in the republican mem
bership of the committee in order that
tho new members who must be ap-
pointed shall not be too greatly over
balanced by the experience and special
ability of such men as Kelley, Reed and
Mckinley. If it is the intention of the
administration, however, to direct the
policy to be pursued 80 far as the reve
nue. question is concerned, it may not be
of very great Importance how the ways
and means committee is made up.
